Sweet Thai Chili Tofu Wrap: A Flavorful Vegan Delight
This Sweet Thai Chili Tofu Wrap is a tasty and satisfying vegan dish that combines the spiciness of Thai chili sauce with the crispy texture of baked tofu, all wrapped up in a soft tortilla. This wrap makes for a quick and delicious meal that’s perfect for lunch or dinner.
Ingredients:
– 1 block of extra-firm tofu (about 14 oz), drained and pressed
– 1/4 cup Sweet Thai Chili Sauce
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
– 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
– 1 cucumber, cut into matchsticks
– 1 carrot, shredded
– 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
– 4 large tortillas or wraps
– 2 cups shredded lettuce
– 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the tofu: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch cubes. In a medium bowl, toss the tofu cubes with olive oil, soy sauce, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
2. Bake the tofu: Spread the tofu cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the tofu is golden and crispy.
3. Cook the bell peppers: While the tofu is baking, heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers and sauté until they are tender but still crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Assemble the wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a tablespoon of Sweet Thai Chili Sauce in the center of the tortilla.
5. Layer the ingredients: Begin by adding a portion of shredded lettuce on top of the chili sauce, followed by a handful of cucumber matchsticks, some shredded carrot, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
6. Add the tofu: Evenly distribute the crispy baked tofu pieces and sautéed bell peppers over the vegetables.
7. Finish and wrap: Add a final drizzle of Sweet Thai Chili Sauce over the assembled wrap ingredients. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds for added texture. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll up from the bottom to form a wrap.
8. Serve: Slice the wrap in half if desired and serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil or parchment paper for a portable meal option.
Enjoy your Sweet Thai Chili Tofu Wrap, which is bursting with vibrant flavors and wholesome ingredients!
